In Conclusion The huge fault with over alkalizing the body through diet, artificial alkaline water or medication is poor digestion which naturally develops over time. In Ayurveda poor digestion is to be totally avoided because it is the root of all disease, fatigue and depression. The fire in the belly gives nutrients to all cells as well as the mind indirectly. Alkaline is not bad in itself but when acid items are deficient in the diet and therefor the body, alkaline disease manifest When the digestion is covered by a wet blanket, so is the mind, thus enthusiasm, vitality and brightness suffer greatly. Also the bazaar result of severe alkalizing the body and retarding digestion is secondary acidity due to slow stagnant metabolism. The body has been crafted by nature with a keen eye and a sound intellect thus awarding acid buffeting systems which naturally deal with this fault of metabolism namely a build-up of acidic substances. The body simply requires a little co-operation from the knower of the body to make wholesome and balanced dietary choices. It is noted in Safe and Unsafe Carbohydrates that modern processed foods have an increased acid reaction therefore whole grains, fruits and vegetables require to be the wise choice for acid alkaline balance. Favourable acidity is when digestion is in prime condition, when food is fully digested in the correct time and before taking more food. Primary acidity is the acidity of digestion which supplies four billion cells with nutrients and thus vibrate life. For the purpose of knowledge, favourable and primary acidity require to be differentiated from unfavourable and secondary acidity. Herbs such as Neem and Guduchi are natures dedicated servants which not only reduce acidic conditions in the body but also improve digestion. Guduchi is also translated as the ‘Protector of the body’. Nature is not controlled nor manipulated, but adored, sublimely! 27
